Science & Research:
PureLean® Protein offers a blend of vegetarian proteins, antioxidants, fiber and nutrients in a lightly sweetened formula. Diets higher in protein and fiber have been associated with healthy weight management and body composition, believed to be due, at least in part, to enhanced satiety and nutrient metabolism.1, 2 Fiber also helps support digestive health, nutrient absorption and healthy glycemic control. Research suggests that a multivitamin/mineral can help moderate appetite to support healthy weight management.3 Clinical studies indicate that DNF-10® lowers ghrelin secretion between meals and neuropeptide Y in the hypothalamus to promote satiety. In four double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies involving healthy overweight subjects, DNF-10® promoted a significant decrease in caloric intake, weight circumference, abdominal fat and body weight.4-7 In the most recent study, after 2 months of taking 500 mg DNF-10®, subjects had decreased their daily caloric intake by 600 calories and 80% of the subjects thought less about eating during the day.4
